On gravity at the Bristol Beer Festival 14/3/08. Pale gold with a decent white head. Big hop aroma of grapefruit and flowers with some sweetness. Flavour was fruity with some grassy hops and a pleasant dry finish. Drinkable.

[i] [b] Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival Febโ€™ 08 [/i] [/b] Pours more lemon but moving toward golden, nice bubbly white head. Fresh floral aroma, the american hops starting to make their presence felt. Great crisp refreshing beer, sweet malts and lovely fruity flavour, this drinkโ€™s far better than it should and more than held itโ€™s own against some of the bigger beers on offer. Very popular and justifiably so, this is a corking session beer.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 8 Aug 2007) Pale yellow colour with green tinges, frothy white head. Fruity nose with notes of citrus, lemon and fresh grassy hops. Fruity taste with a delicate grainy malt background, notes of grapefruit, lemon and slightly grassy hops in a citrussy finish. Very tasty and rather complex considering the fairly low abv. Well done.

Pale golden in colour with good clarity and a low white head. Hoppy to the nose. Flavour is dominated all the way through by hop bitterness (half pint on gravity served in perfect condition at The Fat Cat in Ipswich 22.09.2006).
